Step-by-step guide to planning a bachelor party

  1. Define the vibe, date, place and guest list — Talk to the bride or groom (or their closest friend) to understand the desired vibe: chill dinner, wild night out, weekend trip, mixed group, etc. Decide on a date, approximate budget and whether it’s local or away. Create the event in Fiestukis right away so you can add the basic info, invite the right people and keep all details and messages in one place.
  2. Choose bachelor party activities and a rough schedule — Pick 2–4 key bachelor party activities that fit the group: escape room, cocktail workshop, spa, clubbing, private dinner, boat trip, games night or a mix. Build a simple timeline (meet-up, main activity, food, after-party) so the day or night flows smoothly. Share the draft schedule in Fiestukis so guests can comment and you can adjust based on preferences and budget.
  3. Set the budget and split costs fairly — Estimate the total cost per person including activities, food, drinks, transport and a small gift for the bride or groom. Decide what’s mandatory (e.g. main activity) and what’s optional extras so no one feels pressured. Use your Fiestukis event page to clearly list expected costs and who pays what, and let guests confirm if they’re in for each part.
  4. Organize food, drinks and who brings what — If you’re doing a house party, picnic or pre-drinks, decide whether you’ll cook, order in or go potluck style. In Fiestukis, create a “bring something” list for snacks, drinks, decorations, games and breakfast for the next day so you avoid duplicates and missing essentials. Don’t forget non-alcoholic options, water and a simple cake or dessert to celebrate the bride or groom.
  5. Plan logistics, dress code and surprises — Book transport (taxis, minibus, designated drivers) and any reservations for restaurants, clubs or activities well in advance. Decide on a fun but realistic dress code: matching T-shirts, accessories, or just a color theme that works for everyone. Use Fiestukis to share addresses, meeting points, surprise moments (in a private note to co-organizers) and any rules like no posting certain photos online.
  6. Confirm details and handle last-minute changes — A few days before, send a final reminder through Fiestukis with the timeline, what to bring and contact numbers. Check RSVPs, adjust bookings if the group size changed and reassign any items on the “bring something” list if someone cancels. On the day, keep the plan flexible, focus on the bride or groom having a great time and use the app to quickly update the group if plans shift.

Complete guide to bachelor and bachelorette parties

Think about the personality of the bride or groom and the mix of guests. Some popular bachelor party activities include:

  • Adventurous: go-karting, paintball, rafting, hiking, zipline.
  • Relaxed: spa day, wine tasting, beach day, picnic, private movie night.
  • Social & party: cocktail class, bar crawl, karaoke, clubbing, rooftop drinks.
  • At home: casino night, board games, themed dinner, DIY cocktail bar.

You can list and vote on ideas directly in your Fiestukis event so the group helps choose the best plan.

The cost of a bachelor party varies a lot depending on location and activities. For a single evening in your city, many groups spend around 50–150€ per person including food, drinks and one main activity. A full weekend trip can easily go from 200–400€ or more per person with accommodation and travel.

To avoid surprises, create a clear budget breakdown on your Fiestukis event page and indicate which parts are optional, so everyone can join at a level they’re comfortable with.

A good bachelor party schedule has structure but leaves room for spontaneity. At minimum, include:

  • Meet-up time and place.
  • Main bachelor party activities with start times and locations.
  • Meal times (dinner, snacks, late-night food).
  • Transport between places.
  • A rough end time or last activity.

Share the schedule in Fiestukis so everyone knows where to be and you can update it easily if something changes.

Use a shared list so nothing is forgotten and you don’t end up with 10 bottles of the same drink. In Fiestukis, create a “bring something” list with categories like:

  • Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).
  • Snacks and sweets.
  • Decorations and accessories.
  • Games, props and printed photos.
  • Breakfast or hangover kit for the next morning.

Guests can reserve items directly in the list, so everyone sees what’s already covered and what’s still needed.

For a simple local bachelor party, starting 4–6 weeks in advance is usually enough to book activities and get RSVPs. For a weekend trip or destination bachelor party, aim for 3–6 months so people can book time off work and travel at good prices.

Create the event early in Fiestukis, even if details are not final. You can update information over time while guests already have the date blocked in their calendars.

There are many bachelorette party ideas beyond the classic night out. Consider:

  • A spa and wellness day with massages and a nice lunch.
  • A creative workshop: pottery, painting, flower crowns, cocktail making.
  • A cozy cabin or beach house weekend with games, movies and good food.
  • A themed brunch or picnic with matching outfits and a photo session.

List your favorite options in Fiestukis, let guests vote and then confirm the plan so it fits the bride’s style and the group’s budget.
